which greek yogurt brand is better?

jabu1401

i have been going to various stores and all the greek yogurt brands i see are oikos, fage, and the greek gods.
which one is healthier and least expensive?
are there other brands out there that might be better than these 3 brands?
thank you for your time.

If you can find Dannon fit & light, those are all the rage right now because of the macros. Unfortunately, my grocer doesn't carry it so I have to get Yoplait Source which has great macros too, 50 cal 8 protein, 4 carbs, 0 fat per 100g.

I like the ingredients, taste and texture of Fage plain, but unless you can find it on sale, it's not cheap. I don't typcially like the flavored yogurts out there, but I recently stumbled on Tillamook Farmstyle Greek (raspberry or vanilla) and the ingredients aren't too bad, and tastes great. About the same price as Fage though.

There was a post recently with lots of suggestions...http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1324919-favorite-greek-yogurt

I buy Fage when I can afford it but usually Yoplait Greek 100 because there are always coupons.

Dannon Light & Fit GREEK yogurt has the least amout of sugar. And it tastes awesome.

Cabot Greek Yogurt is my favorite.

Dannon Light and Fit which I am sure other people have suggested. I don't know if its healthiest because to me any greek yogurt would be healthy. I mean it's Greek yogurt, not a chocolate bar (which can be part of a healthy diet too).

Here are some flavors I love:
Toasted coconut: taste like vanilla icing
Vanilla
Key lime: great with grahams
Peach
Cherry chocolate: NOT the raspberry chocolate...hated that one
Caramel Machiatto: only available at Target

Define "healthier" ........

I would look at the ingredient list.

Some Greek yogurt has fake sugar.....Dannon Light & Fit. Many people wouldn't call fake sugar healthy.

Some "Greek" yogurt is fake.....it's not strained, but has added proteins. Yoplait used to be fake.....not sure if it's strained now.

I like Chobani.....ingredients that I can pronounce. But it just depends upon what you deem "healthy."

I prefer non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and I add different flavors protein powder and fresh fruit. Sometimes, I throw in a few TBSs of rolled grains, and put it in the fridge as overnight oats for breakfast.
Whatever is on sale works for me. Not sure where you are located, but if there's a Walmart, there is their Great Value brand, and it's always the lowest price.
The flavored kinds have a lot of extra garbage on the nutrition label, if you read through. And they are always higher in calories, too.

I don't have a "discerning" palate, so I just buy the plain stuff (in the big 2lb containers), usually the store brand, or whatever one is on sale at the best price. Sometimes I get the fat free sometimes it's the 2%.

Plain is nice, since we can add fruit or granola or muesli ourselves, or use it plain as a sour cream sub (it's great on Mexican food and on baked potatoes).

Basically, I say they're all good. Buy the one you want at the best price you can find.

Fage is the only actual Greek brand out of the ones you named and is usually the highest quality Greek yogurt most American grocery stores carry. It tastes like Greek yogurt in Greece which is to say, it's thick and very tart. The American brands tend to be sweeter and are available in various non-fat/sugar-free versions. I do like Dannon's Light n Fit Greek even though it's very artificial tasting.

Fage Total.
Real greek yoghurt.
Only one I can digest as a lactoseintolerant

I love Fage plain, full-fat especially, but I also keep the 0% fat on hand. I add vanilla or almond extract, stevia, fruit, and nuts. The flavored Fage is pretty good too, but I haven't seen it in full-fat.

I buy my tubs of Fage at Costco. Best price for the stuff. And I'm lovin' the macros.

I like fage and chobani. I usually eat them plain because I don't like flavored yogurt, but I have tried the honey flavored chobani and that's pretty good. I also like the fage that comes with honey in a side compartment that you can mix in yourself.

I use the Great Value at Walmart, less then $4 for a tub Greek yogurt.

Fage is my favorite.

I love the Fage strawberry goji and the Chobani Key Lime Pie Crumble. Also the Chobani Coffee Dark Chocolate Chip, which is only available in 100 calorie tubs, which are smaller than the typical greek yogurt sizes.

Just to chime in more for Fage --- I've tried 6 or 7 different brands and Fage continues to be the best.

I like fage but it's not cheap so I buy it and eat it on occasion and put it in my smoothies too!

One more vote for Fage. I also like flavored yoghurts, and Greek Gods are among the best tasting ones I've had. Oh, and there is Noosa. Not exactly Greek, in fact it claims to be made using a secret Australian recipe - and it tastes awesome!
